Prior to the close of the legislative session in Oklahoma in May of 2025, we published this article about the bills we wanted to see addressed: https://okgrassroots.com/legislative-update-bills-passed-in-house-go-to-senate-and-vice-versa-be-informed-and-make-your-positions-known/
Our first article in this series was on Bills passed in 2025
We are preparing to work on the scorecard and see if our representatives paid more attention to the OKGOP platform this year than last. That is planned for release prior to January 1st. So stay tuned.
Special thanks to Nancy McDaniel for compiling these lists for us to publish. It is a ton of work and is much appreciated! Her summaries are incredibly helpful, but if you want to read the entirety of a bill, please go to okhouse.gov or oksenate.gov then to ‘Legislation and Laws’ and then do a Bill Search.
This list is the most telling of all about the work OKGrassroots folks have before us. We must replace enough senators to change the leadership to even get a fair shake at having our bills heard! Read it and weep. Then pray. Then get ready to walk your precinct for good representation!
